Thanks Chris,

I'll fix it up.

If anyone has updated information on HF APRS that they would like to see
added to the page please email me direct.

Hi,

That page is also a little bit outdated...  most of the content there is
from something I wrote a few years ago.

The URLs at the bottom of the page need to be updated.  These might work a
bit better (but need testing):

"Hourly Area Predictions for Perth, from Ionospheric Prediction Service
(IPS)" :

http://www.ips.gov.au/Images/HF%20Systems/Australasia/HAP%20Charts/Perth.g
if

"Hourly Area Predictions for Brisbane, from Ionospheric Prediction Service
(IPS)" :

http://www.ips.gov.au/Images/HF%20Systems/Australasia/HAP%20Charts/Brisban

Can also add these ones:

"Hourly Area Predictions for Darwin, from Ionospheric Prediction Service
(IPS)" :

http://www.ips.gov.au/Images/HF%20Systems/Australasia/HAP%20Charts/Darwin.

With the greatest of respect Bob I gotta say your a bit off beam here if
not

misleading. Telling us what to do from over your way is way off sometimes.

The New paradigm isnt implenented here as yet and saying things like.

"(it used to be VIA GATE,WIDE, but the WIDE part  of that is now obsolete

and will not work)."

Just isnt true.. Recomending anything with WIDE1-1 isnt allways guaranteed

to get very far either

That might all work nice for you but are we really expecting the
Ionosphere

to work that well that we can make regular use of your HF gates over there

?? I think not. By the way we have our own HF gates over here and
sometimes

they pick up posit beacons transmitted from your gateways ..

Maybee for the best solution to the question in VK land have a look at
this

web page which isnt all that dated.
